Short answer is that you need to add them to your page layout itself. This article is a reasonble start to learn more about this:

Hi Paul, thanks for your short answer i have read that document and im still having issues, basically il try to explain once again... maybe you could help me personally?
i have added the colum fields to the page layout under the "Edit Mode Panel" and saved the article, but what do i need to add to the mastermage in order for content of these fields to be displayed in the final source of the published page.
by the way these are <meta> tag fields i am trying to implement.
would really apreciate some more help and advice.

hello
in order to display field value on the final page you need to add
FieldValue control on the page layout of your publishing page like this:
<%@ Register Tagprefix="spwc" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
...
<spwc:FieldValue FieldName="Title" runat="server"/>

code is useful because in context of Sharepoint term "meta" may have several meanings. So one of the solution is the following:
1. add id attribute into your meta tag in layout and runat="server":
<META Name="mymeta" id="mymeta" runat="server" >
After this you will have System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlMeta mymeta; control available in the codebehind of your page. And you can set Content property of this control like this:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
this.mymeta.Content = SPContext.Current.ListItem["Title"];
}
The problem is that in your case this is page layout and no code behind available. But you can insert server side script into your page like this:
<script language="C#" runat="server">
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
this.mymeta.Content = SPContext.Current.ListItem["Title"];
}
</script>
